Trophy design contest

Link Thread Closed


As many have noticed, SMWC's current gold, silver and bronze trophies given out for contests look a bit outdated. Just replacing them would've been alright, but we decided to make things a little more fun. So, we're calling on anyone interested to design the replacements!

Between now and NOVEMBER 30TH, anyone interested in participating can PM me their own gold, silver, and trophy designs and I'll add them to the list. You're free to resend or update the trophies at any time after submitting them, but after the November 30th date, they'll be locked in.

After the deadline, all the submissions will be revealed and there will be a vote to determine which trophy set gets in. At that time, please PM me your top 3 choices for trophy sets submitted. Of course, if you participated, you may not vote for your own. The deadline for voting is December 7th, so please get those votes in. Anyone is free to vote, regardless of whether or not you submitted your own entry.

If you win, you will receive the ability to edit your own custom title as well as receive a special trophy of your own. Not only that, but your new trophy designs will replace all of the old ones.

Of course, in terms of actually making your trophies, there are a few guidelines to follow:

1. YOU MUST MAKE THE TROPHY YOURSELF. Unfortunately, copypasta from the Spriter's Resource won't cut it here. Please make your own original designs. Of course, you can use other trophy designs as an inspiration, but it shouldn't be a direct ripoff.
2. Your trophy must be a PNG. Pretty self-explanatory.
3. Each trophy must be no more than 64x64 pixels. Obviously, we don't want microscopic trophies, but please follow these limits.
4. The trophy backgrounds must be transparent! Please no white backgrounds. Try using GIMP to get transparency.
5. You must submit a gold, silver, and bronze trophy. When we vote, we'll be voting on whether or not to use the three gold, silver and bronze trophies you made. If you don't have all three of your trophies in by the deadline, you'll be disqualified.
6. Do not submit your entry for the contest in this thread. PM me instead.

That should be it. I'm looking forward to seeing what trophy designs end up being made. Feel free to discuss the contest here and ask questions, but try to avoid commenting on other people's trophies in this thread. Good luck!
Does it have to be Super Mario Styled, or it can be done with other games/TV shows?

I'm gonna make one, but I have alot of work to do, so I probably won't have time.
Feel free to design the trophies in whatever style you'd like. Of course, ones more Mario-themed could get more votes overall.
Seems interesting, it'll be cool to see new types of trophies. I possibly might participate.
Cool, a trophy contest! I might just enter myself.
I guess the ribbons I made weren't good enough :< (they also used some sprites from the Spriter's Resource, whats wrong with copypasta these days)

I will try HARDER now (if I gain artistic skill before the deadline)!
I wonder what a HFD opcode would do in ASM...
i'm fast, i've done already the bronze and silver ones, gold its the next.
I do pixels sometimes
Meh, I kind of like the old ones. Well, I guess I'll see what I think after I see the new ones. They could be awesome, and I hope they are!

Tip:
I would try to create them but my computer's graphic card is messing up anything I drawl. Oh well.

Now, I think those actually look okay aside from being colossal. 64x64 pixels, bub.

But isn't there a chance that people who won trophies in the past can keep the old design on their trophies? You don't swap out old trophies you won for the same trophy with a new design in real life.

Also known as they are still too big. Oh, and didn't Supertails state that the submissions should be sent him via PM?

Aside from that, they actually look pretty good - nice job.
Thanks, I will resize them and then send them to him.
But I have a question: What will the winner get? A badge?

Possibly, but I think, it's a great honor already, that his/her creation is used at SMW Central.

Also, this design contest is a great idea, I'm sure, we'll get some awesome creations. I don't think, that I'll be in, since I'm not that good drawer/designer. But I wish the best luck for everyone who'll make a trophy! :D
I will make some. And they will be good. Hopefully.

I start sunday.

I'd also like to remind people who create trophies to please send them to me privately instead of using this thread.

Gotta say though, there have been some really good designs submitted so far. Looking forward to seeing more as they come in over the next couple weeks.
I decided to join too! :D
I probably won't win but that's besides the point. XD

SMWHacking? I rest my case.
SMWCentral? I leave it to rest.

I don't know if this will work, but maybe the trophies could be like crowns like in Mario and Luigi RPG 3? Just a suggestion.
I'll have a go at putting something into this; it'll most likely still be fairly simple and have the same colors as the current trophies, but hopefully more detailed.
